Two experiments are conducted to determine the mass of an object. -In Experiment 1, you place the object on an electronic balance and read the object's weight.
-In Experiment 2, you apply a constant force to pull the object along a horizontal surface, while using a motion detector to measure the object's speed as it is pulled.

All frictional forces for both experiments are considered to be negligible. Which of the two experiments, if either, could be used to determine the gravitational mass of the object?

a. Experiment 2 only
b. Experiment 1 only
c. Neither experiment
d. Both experiments

probably not if net force is zero

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
